description

zipcloak
encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile. This is the
default action.
The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in
the zipfile.
zipcloakuses original zip encryption which is
considered weak.

Note:

The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted
and is put in the public domain. It was originally written
in Europe and can be freely distributed from any country
including the U.S.A. (Previously if this program was
imported into the U.S.A, it could not be re-exported from
the U.S.A to another country.) See the file README.CR
included in the source distribution for more on this.
Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies.

bugs

Large files
(> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.

Split archives
not yet supported. A work around is to convert the split
archive to a single-file archive using zip and then
use zipcloak on the single-file archive. If needed,
the resulting archive can then be split again using
zip.
